A computing system may be configured to perform operations including obtaining image data depicting a flow of soil around a ground-engaging tool of an agricultural implement as the ground-engaging tool is moved through the soil. Furthermore, the operations may include extracting a set of features from the obtained image data. Moreover, the operations may include inputting the set of features into the machine-learned classification model and receiving a soil flow classification of the set of features as an output of the machine-learned classification model. In addition, the operations may include determining when the ground-engaging tool is plugged based on the soil flow classification of the set of features.

In one aspect, a system for detecting plugging of an agricultural implement may include a disc rotatably coupled to a frame member, with the disc configured to rotate relative to soil within a field as the implement is moved across the field. The system may also include a disc scraper coupled to the frame member, with the disc scraper configured to remove the soil from the disc as the disc rotates relative to the soil. Furthermore, the system may include a sensor configured to detect a parameter indicative of an acceleration of the disc scraper relative to frame member. Additionally, a controller of the system may be configured to monitor the acceleration of the disc scraper relative to the frame member based on data received from the sensor moreover. The controller may be further configured to determine when the disc is plugged based on the monitored acceleration.

Presently described is a device (1) for adjusting the angle of disc sections for agricultural harrows which comprises at least one articulation element (10) configured to be pivotally attached to a beam (200) of an agricultural harrow (2), the articulation element (10) being configured to be pivotally attached to an adjustment shaft (20), thus allowing the angular adjustment of the beams of the agricultural harrow sections in both a horizontal plane and a vertical/transverse plane, comprising simple construction when compared to solutions existing in the prior art, making use of few components to allow both adjustments, and providing simple, practical and fast operation, requiring few manipulation steps.

A system for adjusting the spacing between ground engaging tools of an agricultural implement may include a plurality of ground engaging tools including a first end tool, a second end tool, and at least one intermediate tool positioned between the first and second end tools, with an adjustable ground engaging width being defined between the first and second end tools. The system may further include a biasing element positioned between each respective pair of adjacent engaging tools and configured to apply a biasing force against its respective pair of adjacent tools such that an inter-tool spacing between each respective pair of adjacent tools is maintained substantially uniform across the plurality of ground engaging tools as the ground engaging width is adjusted.

An agricultural tilling assembly has an elongate structure, and at least one ground engaging tool sub-assembly. The sub-assembly includes a hub having a mounting portion, a ground engaging tool securable to the hub or integrally formed therewith, and a weight having a body with an open aperture having a mouth, the mouth configured for enabling the weight plate to be threaded over the elongate structure so that the elongate structure extends through the aperture, and the open aperture configured so that the weight plate is maneuverable over a portion of a length of the hub whilst in situ on the elongate structure and to be beatable on the mounting portion. The ground engaging tool is connectable to a respective one of the hubs of the tilling assembly whilst that hub is retained interconnected in situ on the tilling assembly, and without removing another ground engaging tool from the tilling assembly.

A link assembly (3) and system (203) including a first link portion (7, 207) and a second link portion (9, 209). The first link portion (7, 207) includes a bulbous end (13). The second link portion (9, 209 a socket (15). To link adjacent link assemblies (3) or the first link portion (7, 207) to the second link portion (9, 209), the bulbous end (13) is received in the socket (15). In one example, the link assembly (3) is part of an agricultural ground engaging chain (1) having harrow member portions (5). In other examples, the link assembly and system (203) are used to link first element (204) and second elements (206) to one another. This may be used to join or anchor vehicles, structures and the like.

A system for detecting plugging of an agricultural implement includes a frame member and a ground-engaging tool rotatably coupled to the frame member. The ground-engaging tool is configured to engage soil within a field as the agricultural implement is moved across the field. The system also includes a tool scraper positioned relative to the ground-engaging tool such that the tool scraper is configured to remove field materials from the tool as the tool engages the soil. Moreover, the system includes a sensor configured to detect a parameter indicative of a load on the tool scraper and a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor. The controller is configured to monitory the load on the tool scraper based on data received from the sensor and determine when the tool is experiencing a plugged condition based at least in part on the monitored load.
